Current Projects chat and miscellany

New (and first) project:

Uncle's old Austro-Daimler - 90% sure it's an Ultima, early 80's example. It's going fixed, and probably most things will end up being replaced at great expense, despite my intention being to keep it fairly beater-ish for a commuter. Unfortunately, I can only see myself actually using it as a commuter if the cranks move (they don't), and they're also seized on something fierce. Could get interesting.

Anyway, here's some pictures of it straight out of his garage before strippage (apologies for awful, low light phone pictures):

Tres nice Dwayne

Could be a sprinter

[although most likely a team pro]

Naaah. They were way older than that Raleigh, I think they stopped making them sometime in the 50s. They're super duper narrow.

Very nice!

My Goff (coming to a current projects near you soon) is full campag too. Which bars did you go with?

I have cinelli 65's with a 1a for the full Italian build thing, but have some nitto 123's and a jaguar stem cause they work better.

Fuck me Guy, how many bikes is that now??!

Almost there, just in search of an affordable C-Record crank but that might be a while.

Tried to stay true to the Raleigh track tradition with full Campag, and this is my very first Brooks saddle.

Fuck the dog!! Superb!

Diggin the wheels Dwayne, Omega's FTW!

very, very nice dmc!

Can someone repost the chesini pic from a couple of pages back... can't see it.

Love that lopro frame with the daft bars.
DMC - supernoice

Stuck it on my Photobucket page, hope you can see it now.

Yep. Nice as rice.

Cheers

Goff will make 5

Too many really, even with one living at the track.

Need to get back down to 4, or even 3 would be better.

Anyone want a Bianchi D2 carbon pista and a regular chrome Bianchi pista?

You all saw the auction, its still in the ebay thread.

Fucking awesome, Dwayne... :D

The next project...was surprised to actually win this, and now really chuffed, I lived in Poland for 6 months so this will have some weird sentimental value...mmm now to start sourcing all the shiny bits...and hoping that when it arrives it fits me well ;-)

Buddha Fingaz - do you have any more information about this frame? I'm half Polish so am too looking for a frame that'll give me some weird sentimental value. Who's this Rychtarski person? The only Polish frame builders I know of are Orlowski and that guy that builds the Katana frames. Are there any others out there?

my current project, just being preped and filled for painting, orange?

very nice ewan, is it a low pro? looks it but hard to tell without wheels

dwayne, that is amazing. can't wait to see it finished.

You all saw the auction, its still in the ebay thread.

I didn't....i only come on here when someone sets off the anti Brooklyn sensor.
Im gonna go see....and i was here first Seb....too small for you!

Which auction Gizmond? I cannae find it. :(

What can it be?

I'll just leave this here

Since Guy's only had the frame for two weeks your price will likely be what he paid for it.

Dibs!!!!

That is one seriously sexy frameset.

Which is why it needs a seriously sexy rider like me on it!

three lo pro's scott?......

you trying to corner the market?
